I loved meeting new people and seeing all the different interpretations and color choices ! Thank you for your awesome block design... VERY CUTE ! Also thank you for offering a giveaway.. Hope I Win !!

The most splendid part, to me, was all of the block techniques and piecing. Plus, seeing all of the blocks that others have made. Near the top of my blog left sidebar is an image link to contact me. Thank you :)

Besides all the wonderful block patterns it was so exciting for me to know that I was part of a huge project that quilters from all over the world were participating in. What a great idea. Thanks to Pat, Jane, and all the designers for all the hard work and generous gifts that went into this past year. I can't wait to finish the rest of the blocks and see the whole project completed.

There were so many of the blocks I really just loved. I did sew your Splendid Notions pouch and gave it to my sister for Christmas. I have added the Splendid Sampler book to my wish list. I like having a book to refer to, plus to browse at in the evening. Thank you so much, peterstankovich@comcast.net

I truly enjoyed traveling (inn my mind) all over the world, reading about each designer.. .their tips, challenges they over come and sharing a bit about their lives. Inspiration came from so many avenues and challenges were accepted many times over! I've learned a lot in my skills and enjoyed trying new methods and techniques~ quiltlovefordomesticfelicity(at)gmail(dot)com

Love, loved the journey. I am no longer intimidated by PP or Applique blocks. What a great idea to do this as a great big Quilt a long. The other quilters inspired me in so many ways. I also learned the importance of color placement. So glad I participated. I have 108 blocks now ready to put into multiple tops.

It is hard to pick just one splendid part of this experience!! I loved that it got me out of my comfort zone and taught me new things, like English Paper Piecing and machine applique. I also absolutely loved seeing everyone else's blocks....they were great inspiration for me!! Most of all, though, I liked that it got me back into the habit of sewing and quilting again. I just had no motivation until the Splendid Sampler came along. I am a little behind on all the blocks, but I am still picking away at it and hope to have them all done soon!! Thank you for your part in this!! It truly was splendid!! :)

There aren't many times when people across the world align on learning and developing their own and others' skills. It was nice to see people use social media in a positive way to share and empower each other.

I think the most Splendid part of this whole process was seeing everyone's interpretations of the blocks along the way. That and seeing people gain confidence in their skills as they completed block after block. sherry at phazoncontrols dot com

Hi Cherise. Thank you for your contribution to the Splendid Sampler. It was an exciting journey. I enjoyed being introduced to so many new designers, reading their stories, and learning new techniques.

Best part was learning. Watching what other people decided to do with their blocks. their own twist. You're one of my fav deisgners, I love your blocks :) I haven't made yours yet because I'm very behind but I will surely will!

I enjoyed seeing all the different designers and learning more about them. It was also nice to see how each quilter used the pattern differently to create their own Splendid block. It gave me many good ideas.

I started out and made the first few blocks but this has been a busy year for me with not much sewing happening. I loved seeing the new blocks each week and all of the various ways they were made. This has been fun to follow along with and I will be purchasing the book so that I can work on it this year.

I think the thing that inspired me most about the splendid sampler was that it made me get out of my comfort zone. Trying different techniques and using them together in the same quilt are things I don't usually do. I love piecing and usually stick with that. The applique, paper piecing and embroidery really offered challenges that I don't normally attempt.

I made 4 quilt tops with 25 blocks in each for a total of 100 blocks. I have loved every minute of this journey. My favorite memory is meeting up with designers and other quilters at a shop in Syracuse during the summer! Thanks Katie

I think the most splendid thing about this year of quilting was all the paper pieced blocks. Your block is my favorite. while i was sewing it I thought of the first dress I sewed when I was 10 or 11 yr. old. I remembered my mother teaching me and advising me to take a break when there where tears. Your dress block was so cute and I love how all the paper pieced blocks turned out.

The most splendid part of this journey has to be learning all about colour placement and how the same block in different fabrics can be so very different. I can know use this skill in my quilting and now my fabrics are talking with me instead of at me ☺

It was very splendid to meet a lot of new friends from all over the world, not to mention all the designers that I never knew before.. :)And I was new to paper piecing, but I love it now..lolLoved your Stitching Fashion block! :>

hi - thank you for your addition to The Splendid Sampler. My favorite part was the fact that so many quilters participated from ALL around the world. It was so interesting to see everyone's variations. This was my first attempt to paper piece - felt great to learn a new technique.
